Counseling for
Teens & Families
Some of our therapists specialize in working with teenagers and their families. The teen will have a combination of sessions alone and sessions with parents. When recommended, the whole family can be part of the process.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR (optional) offers a unique approach to working with trauma, performance anxiety, and a wide range of issues in individual therapy. Some therapists have additional training in this modality.
- Sandtray/Sandplay Therapy: Through the use of sandtrays and a wide range of miniatures, the therapist invites the client to create an environment. People who like this method find it to be unique, enjoyable, and deeply meaningful. It has been compared to dream work in that the mind reaches into a similar place in the psyche to create a picture in the sand with the miniatures. Parents & teens are surprised at how much better they are able to communicate with these materials. The founder of Sandtray, Dora Kalff, studied with Jung.
